Overview
Imagine a lavish rooftop perched above the CBD, surrounded by plush day beds, fairy-lit foliage, and futuristic arcs. Sounds like something you'd find in Hong Kong, but it's a space that will actually exist in Sydney when the new Arc by Crown development is finished in late 2018.
Property developers the Crown Group are currently working on the 25-storey Clarence Street building, which will comprise of over 200 high-end residential apartments and penthouses. But perhaps more exciting to us is the fact that the Arc complex will also be home to a range of five-star hotel suites, which will include this insane openair space located on the roof of the building.
Designed by Koichi Takada Architects, the luxe space will include day beds, a water feature (not for swimming — there's an Ice Cave pool for guests for that) and, we're guessing, a bar (although nothing has been confirmed on that front). As well as the roof, the complex will also open up to Kent and Clarence Streets with multiple levels of retail and food offerings for the general public to get amongst.
Arc is just one of a handful of the Crown Group's Skye Hotel Suites that will be rolling out across Sydney over the next few years. The group's set to unveil 72 luxury suites within Parramatta's V by Crown complex mid-year and has announced plans for another urban resort at Green Square, to open in 2019.
